"Hurley is a very safe, low-crime village. Petty theft is rare but keep valuables secure in cars and when near tourist spots. The river can be dangerous; avoid swimming in strong currents and supervise children near water. Countryside paths are well-maintained but can be muddy after rain. Emergency services are reliable."
